Porsche and ExxonMobil – The Race For Success

Partner

This year, Porsche and the team behind Mobil 1™ are celebrating the 20th anniversary since first establishing their partnership in 1996. After two decades of accomplishment, the innovative brands are continuing to work hand-in-hand to develop cutting edge technology that delivers an impressive performance both on and off the race track.
The success of this partnership stems from their single united philosophy: deliver high-performance results for a special driving experience. This unity is demonstrated at numerous racing series across the world, from the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup racing series to the Porsche Carrera Cup, where ExxonMobil is Porsche’s partner in the Carrera Cup Series.

ExxonMobil also plays a key technical role as Porsche’s partner in the World Endurance Championship in both the LMP1 and GTE Pro classes. In 2015, the partnership celebrated Porsche’s 17th overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, which followed Porsche’s return to Le Mans in 2014 after 17 years away.

The same lubricant that succeeds on the race track is also the standard factory fill for twenty-two models of Porsche engine, delivering driving benefits such as engine protection and high performance for every Porsche owner. Mobil 1 0W-40 fills every Porsche model from the 911 to the Macan and over one million Porsche-produced vehicles have now been filled with Mobil 1 engine oil since the start of the relationship. Porsche continues to celebrate this historic partnership by exclusively recommending Mobil 1 for service fill.
